Souvenirs anyone?

[Motherfletcher]

What is your favorite Universal Studios' souvenir? I have a couple- I got t-shirts for my son and myself back when the park opened. His had GOPHER embroidered over the pocket and mine said BEST BOY. I re-evented mine with a Boris Badenov patch over the embroidery. Another oldie is the original yellow rain poncho.

I always get Christmas ornaments. Mine is a Woody Woodpecker ornament that says Universal Studios Florida. (Although I do wish they would have a bit more variety in this department -- ones that say Universal, I mean. I'd have gotten one for every trip if they had more than one or two!).

We got DD9 a IOA sweatshirt almost 3 years ago. She has just now decided she loves it and wears it nearly every day. Good thing I got it big!

last year we bought IOA ornament ball (long story there, that i won't bore you with!) and a Universal Studios ornament.

In Feb., DS got a Thing 4 t-shirt (again, another story i won't bore you....)

Last year (our first visit in YEARS...) i bought "Gingy" in the Shrek store. I collect gingerbreads in my kitchen (it's the "theme" in that room)

This year: on the hunt for a nightshirt for myself......

DH isn't really a "souvenir" type guy.....maybe someday he'll see something one of these days......

I have SO many souvenirs from our trips. I don't think I'm able to name just one favorite. My newest favorite is from our last trip. It's a lenox Cat in The Hat statue and he's holding the fish in a bowl and umbrella. It celebrates Seuss's 100th Birthday.

I love my pj's and pins and christmas ornaments and ride pictures! My husband has a cool MIB watch from years ago.

I've decided to collect receipts from food and beverage purchases.

I keep a snowglobe from our last trip on my desk at work, it has the Cat in the Hat & says "It's fun to have fun!" I like to remind myself of that while I'm not having fun!

I'm a big tea drinker and I love my mugs from the different attractions. I try to pick up a few each time and I still have a ways to go.

OK, if we are including stuff like this... I have a ton of the Studio Guides and the hotel keys. I stacked the keys up and the last time I measured the stack was over 3". My wife is tearing apart the house for this stupid garage sale and wanted to throw my Guides and keys away! While they aren't my favorite keepsake they still have to stay. If it's "Me or the keys?"... I'd help her pack.

OK, me too add me to that list. I have all my room keys, my old AP's and all receipts as well. I also have all the guides from each park from each visit. I do like to take out the old ones from time to time to see how that parks have changed. I have never had the nerve to total my receipts. I also like my collection of things from AP holder ride openings as well as my pins and memorabilia from rides/shows that have closed.
Holy world, what a Universal geek I am.

We'll get t-shirts and sometimes souvenier glasses. From last year's October trip, I got another Margaritaville glass and a HHN glass.

I'm going to miss that store! They used to have a store in the New York section of the Studios called Second Hand Rose that sold discounted merchandise as well.
